Method Acting: (noun): An acting technique in which actors try to replicate the real-life emotional conditions under which the character operates, in an effort to create a life-like, realistic performance. Enforced Method Acting: (noun): An acting technique in which actors give a life-like, realistic performance by actually experiencing the emotional conditions under which the character operates. Enforced Method Acting is a cinematic concept in which the actors and actresses of a work give reactions that are unplanned and unscripted, or are otherwise made to genuinely feel the emotions that they are expressing to the audience. The primary difference with Method Acting is that it's internal to the actor, whereas this trope is about providing reactions as compelled by someone else. This reaction is not rehearsed ahead of time, and the production uses a form of Improv to figure out the best results. This can take place in several ways: Conditions are modified on set to accommodate the approximate mood and emotion that would be associated with the scene, with or without knowledge of everyone involved. The applications of this range from not telling the actor their love interest would leave them in the last scene, giving them the wrong cue for when the chainsaw-wielding maniac bursts through the door, or ensuring conditions would be uncomfortable for them to act in (ice cold water in the dunk tank, heavy wind machines to blow sand in their face, letting them sweat in a heavy costume). An actor behaves in a way that causes the actors he's working with to react in an unplanned way. Adding racist dialogue from their jerkass character, staying in character while off camera, going entirely off script for a rant, or randomly stripping during the scene are all ways to get a genuine reaction if the other actors aren't expecting it. This is sometimes done just to make sure that the other actors will burst out laughing or even a practical joke that produces a better reaction than the "real" take. Real Life Writes the Plot, Writing by the Seat of Your Pants or On-Set Injury results in performances that is appropriate to the plot. Actors' real-life relationships like Hostility on the Set, Friendship on the Set, or Romance on the Set bleed over into their characters' interactions. If an actor dislikes their costar in real life, it'll be easy for them to portray their character as an Arch-Enemy or Sitcom Arch-Nemesis. Enforced Method Acting does not mean long term method acting the director forces the actors to do. Compare with Throw It In! (when this trope happens by accident) and Acting in the Dark (when plot details are deliberately withheld from actors to provide a genuine reaction). Since the associated shock and strong, often negative feelings make the shoot a traumatic experience, this often requires a Jerkass director, or at least one who doesn't mind their actors hating them. After all, using this technique means the director doesn't trust the actors' skills to carry a scene. In some cases however, such as with child actors, this can be more justified. Fatal Method Acting is a lethal case of this. Contrast Lost in Character. See also Harpo Does Something Funny. |

In Over the Garden Wall, protagonist Wirt is forced to make up a song about himself on the spot. Lyrics were written, but a melody was not, so that Elijah Wood would have to make it himself. Furthermore, creator Patrick McHale and Collin Dean (who played Greg) kept mocking him and chanting "Sing, lover, sing!," as the tavern customers do in the show, to try and make him as uncomfortable as possible. | |

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony: The entire killing game is really the latest season of a hugely popular reality show based on the Danganronpa games and anime. All of the students willingly and eagerly auditioned to kill each other as part of their favourite show, then had their memories and personalities erased and replaced with fictional "Ultimate Student" personalities and backstories from the Danganronpa universe. In the final chapter, the surviving characters are horrified by the revelation that they aren't real and all the pain and suffering they went through was just for a bloodthirsty audience's entertainment, especially after watching the audition tapes of their former selves which are the epitome of Nice Character, Mean Actor. | |

During the feud between Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho in 2008, tensions became increased by a single accident — during an appearance at SummerSlam, Michaels appeared to make an announcement of his "retirement" with his wife, only for Jericho to show up, causing a scuffle that led to him throwing a punch at Michaels but accidentally hitting his wife, setting up Michaels' comeback something fierce. It was supposed to be a worked punch, but Rebecca Curci missed her cue and got punched in the face for real, getting a busted lip that definitely helped generate heat (and fortunately, she was a good sport about it — backstage, she got up from her stretcher to tell him "Is that the best you got, Jericho?"). | |

In BoJack Horseman, BoJack's considered suitable for the part of the deeply broken, suicidal racehorse Secretariat because he's so much a screw-up in real life, rather than because he's a good actor at all. In fact, once he's getting the movie made and feeling good about himself, he's unable to stop hamming up his line readings in the style of the dated sitcom-acting he's famous for, howling "what are youu-uuuu doing here!!" in Incoming Ham style in a scene that's supposed to be during the darkest day of his character's life. It's only after his real life implodes again that he's able to give the bitter, self-loathing line-read the scene calls for. | |

Sting's obvious anger as he crushes Jeff Hardy at TNA Victory Road 2011? Real anger - Jeff was so strung out on drugs that Eric Bischoff had to come down and tell Sting to get it over with fast. Jeff can be seen trying to escape Sting's winning pinfall, and as Sting walks out, he answers a fan's "THAT WAS BULLSHIT!" with a loud (and on-camera) "I AGREE!" | |

The Simpsons: When filming the Radioactive Man movie, the director informs Rainier Wolfcastle at the last second that the acid being used in one of the scenes is real. Cut to Wolfcastle with his hands and feet tied, screaming for his life as an acid tsunami barrels towards him. (He survives, but his costume and trailer don't.) One episode has Burns insisting that they whip extras for real during the recreation of the Bible stories. When Ned says no one will tell the difference if they add the sound in later, Burns says the extras being whipped will. |

Much of the plot of The Stunt Man is made of this trope. The movie is about an intense director who constantly uses enforced method acting on his actors, sometimes with dangerous consequences. For example, after accidentally showing dailies of the lead actress in an explicit sex scene to her mother, the director confesses this to said actress, and then calls for cameras to roll for her big tearful scene. |

In the Miraculous Ladybug fanfic "Not a Plagg cult?", The Reveal is that the "cult" actually is a bunch of Adrien and Marinette's friends and acquaintances tired of their Two Person Love Square antics, so they set up a fake Human Sacrifice to scare Marinette into admitting her love, thereby finally pushing Adrien to realize he reciprocates.

In the Wolf 359 episode "Box 953", Minkowski sings "I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major General" while extremely intoxicated. But because Emma Sherr-Ziarko (Minkowski's voice actress) couldn't get it to sound drunk enough, one of the writers took her script and had her recite it from memory. She did not, in fact, have the song memorized. | |

In Paranoia, combat is intended to be portrayed as fast, confused, and entertainingly deadly, rather than tactically optimal - so the GM is encouraged to give the players only a few seconds to decide what their characters are doing each round. The rulebook contains an example of play that runs something like this: Extending this beyond combat, some games even suggest in the guidebook that in order to keep the players on their toes, the GM should make rolls for no reason at all, and occasionally pass private notes to players saying things like "just smile and nod". Then that player knows what's actually going on. A note saying "Make a perception roll, but don't tell the others" makes everyone paranoid. |

The first chapter of Gundam Sousei, a Dramatization of the production of Mobile Suit Gundam, does this with the infamous 'Bright Slap' scene by having Yoshiyuki Tomino punch Tōru Furuya in the face after several unimpressive line reads. Twice. It's unclear if anything of the sort actually happened, but we are talking about a man who enacts Anyone Can Die while making cartoons for a toy company. Another chapter shows Shūichi Ikeda going for drinks with cast members after each day of recording finished, except Furuya, who he was distant towards, to reflect the uncomfortable relationship between Char and Amuro. Once the final episode wrapped up, Ikeda invited Furuya out for drinks, which began a friendship reflected in Char and Amuro's interactions in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. This worked largely because of the Japanese concept of "social drinking", which is an extremely important side of work interaction. Ikeda inviting everyone but Furuya would be considered as one of the most rude things he could do to a fellow co-worker. |

In British hardcore/electronic/everything band Enter Shikari's song "Gandhi, Mate, Gandhi", frontman Rou descends into borderline Angrish about halfway through, before being interrupted by voices urging him to "calm down mate, calm the fuck down" and "Gandhi, mate, just remember Gandhi". These lines were not prepared or written - fellow band members Liam/Rory and Chris were loitering outside the recording booth, drunk, and were heckling Rou as he recorded. For the "Ello Tyrannosaurus" lyric just before the breakdown in 'Hello Tyrannosaurus, Meet Tyrannicide', the producer had Rou run to the back of the room and shout the lyric in order to get the correct sense of distance and shouting in a large space. |

A bit of unintentional Enforced Method Acting appears on the original Broadway soundtrack of Gypsy. In the song "Some People," the actor who plays Rose's father has a small line — "You're not gettin' eighty-eighty cents out of me, Rose." Unfortunately, on the day of recording, the actor failed to show up to do the line, so Stephen Sondheim himself ended up recording it — and he was so pissed off at the actor for not being there that the anger came across as genuine, prompting a similarly angry response from Ethel Merman. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion Hideaki Anno wasn't satisfied with Yuko Miyamura's performance of the film's final line, so he had Megumi Ogata, Shinji's voice actor, strangle her, just as Shinji strangles Asuka in the final scene. In the third Rebuild of Evangelion movie, Shinji has no lines after Kaworu's Heroic Sacrifice. This was not the case in the original script, but after the crew finished recording the scene, Megumi Ogata became so upset that she couldn't finish her lines. The writers hastily rewrote the ending so that Shinji spends the remainder of the movie in a Heroic BSoD state. |

To win a ticket from the contest, a contestant must either 1) shoot another contestant with their bullet from their gun, disqualifying and hurting them or 2) be shot by another contestant with a bullet that had been stolen from another contestant’s gun (in which case the gun modified the bullet to be harmless). Further, there was a special prize, Blood Tamara, for whoever shot another contestant first. Khun put his gun to Wangnan’s head as the game was about to start, saying that all he wanted was Blood Tamara—in order to get Wangnan to scream realistically enough to draw in some other overeager contestants hoping to pick up the remains of a team reeling from a betrayal so Khun could steal their bullets more easily. Even though it worked (and Khun even congratulated him on his loud screaming), Wangnan was a little upset. | |

King of the Hill has Dale try this in one episode, and it actually backfires spectacularly: He tries to sue a tobacco company on the grounds that cigarette smoke made his wife Nancy uglier, and doesn't tell her his plan so she won't have to lie under oath. He overdoes it though, and endangers his marriage by insulting Nancy too harshly. He then spends his entire courtroom appearance establishing that he loves his wife, saving his marriage but destroying his case in the process. | |

Star Wars: The Clone Wars had an arc where Obi-Wan faked his death and disguised himself as his supposed killer, with Anakin and Ahsoka kept in the dark in order to make the ruse more convincing. Unfortunately, their reaction was to seek out his "murderer" and it almost derailed the entire plan. | |

White Dark Life features two characters who are actors with superpowers — Lucy Round and Dark Matthew Astarte. Lucy Round is a Superpower Lottery winnernote her capabilities include Flight, teleportation dimensional travel (albeit only between two dimensions), telepathy over vast distances (albeit only one-way; the subject would need to also be telepathic in order to respond in kind), energy manipulation, matter creation, and self-regeneration, though all these abilities except the telepathy are shut down if she's drenched or frozen, but she mostly averts this trope, as she is also quite humble about her abilities, and is implied to not abuse them during a performance except to provide her own special effects. Dark Matt has Resurrective Immortalitynote he's technically also a Reality Warper, but this is limited to performing his other job as the embodiment of Laser-Guided Karma, so it can't apply to his acting career; he also used to have the power of mimicry, but lost that power in exchange for the aforementioned Reality Warping by the time he became an actor; he exploits this by specializing in portraying villainous characters who inevitably suffer a Cruel and Unusual Death. | |

Metal Gear: With some irony clearly intended, localiser Jeremy Blaustein says that his ability to articulate Solid Snake's world may have something to do with the fact that he translated Metal Gear Solid in an unheated house in a freezing cold winter while chain-smoking and eating diazepam. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: During the scene where Naked Snake meets Granin in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Hideo Kojima had Granin's motion actor drink real whiskey to the point where he was absolutely smashed and kept forgetting his lines. Snake had two motion actors - one specialising in emotional acting, and one to do the combat scenes, particularly the martial arts. However, Kojima deliberately had the combat motion actor, Motosada Mori, play the love scenes with EVA, in the hope that his lack of experience playing love scenes would give an impression of Snake's shyness around her. In the scene in the mountaintop bolthole when EVA leans in to kiss Snake, that's Mori instinctively freezing up when she touches him. It was very in character for Snake, so it was kept and Kojima later said it was one of his favorite touches. |

Title Pending: In-Universe. Cameron gives some script to an actor candidate, starts acting hostile to him and chases him away. Despite the guy making it clear that's not what his paper says is supposed to happen, the two think he'd make a good actor and wonder when will he come back. In the third episode Cameron reads from the script that Bayden is about to perform the theme song and is surprised when did they make one. Realizing it's actually an unrelated song, Cameron cuts the singing out. |

During the 2008 WWE Draft, none of the draftees were told that they'd be switching shows until just seconds before the announcement was made. Most notably seen with the announcer switch between Smackdown! and RAW... the looks of confusion and anger on Michael Cole and Jim Ross' faces as they switched chairs following the announcement of the change were completely real, and Jim Ross actually considered retiring the day after it happened. Speaking of Jim Ross, he intentionally did not read the set notes for the shows he was announcing in order to make his on-air calls more realistic. His pleas for trying to get someone to stop the famous Mankind vs. Undertaker Hell in a Cell match is one of the many legitimate results of this practice (moreso because some of the damage Mick Foley took in the match was unintentional and damn near killed him). |

The original Japanese voice recording of Setsuko in Grave of the Fireflies was heavily enforced since the voice actor, Ayano Shiraishi, was only five years old during the recording.note The director wanted to cast voice actors that were close to the age of the characters to make the movie more realistic. This meant that they had to record her lines before animating the scenes, an extremely uncommon practice in Japanese animation; to help themselves out the animators tried to avoid angles where her mouth could be seen to avoid Mouth Flaps. | |

Real-Time Fandub: Chase (Who normally voices Shadow the Hedgehog) commented on Tumblr after the dub for Sonic Riders that the appearance of Hatsune Miku near the end of the dub was a surprise even to him, and so he stayed quiet to see who would voice her. After a minute of only Storm talking, he realized with some panic they wanted him to voice her, and had failed to tell him this to preserve the genuine shock from the actors. This results in her silence for a few seconds after appearing, only adding to the surreality of the moment. | |

Kevin Sullivan invoked this when he booked his then-wife Nancy to have an affair with Chris Benoit. To make it look more real, Nancy and Benoit acted as if they were having a real affair, including sharing motel rooms, holding hands, and in general spending a lot of time together. This eventually led to Nancy falling for Chris legitimately and genuinely leaving Sullivan for him. The whole saga became the butt of jokes for years up until Atlanta happened, whereupon it became Harsher in Hindsight. | |

When The Cinema Snob and Allison Pregler teamed up to review The Asylum's Sherlock Holmes Mockbuster, Brad was supposed to punch her for suggesting they review another film together. He actually hit her, and her reaction is genuine. It was clear from the outtake video that it was an accident, though. In Midnight Screenings, Jillian reviewed Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1, and had stuff thrown at her from off screen. She knew it would happen, just not the timing, to keep her reactions as genuine as possible. |

The desperate haphazard plan Fisk comes up with in the first book of the Knight and Rogue Series, to drug the Mad Scientist Ceciel they're escaping from and pretend that he and she are going out to perform some sacrifice or another with Michael, nearly falls apart when a guard sees Ceciel's rather vacant face and bad actor Michael's fairly unconcerned expression. There's nothing to be done about the drugged look, so Fisk gets Michael to panic by beginning to talk about how they're sacrificing his 'fertility'. | |

Spoofed in the Behind the Scenes feature for Archer. Amber Nash, who plays Pam on the show, was showing some of the voice acting tricks they used and the script called for her to shout "Bear Claws!" while eating one of them. To do this, the Voice Director provided the real pastry and had Nash do several takes where she would stuff her mouth full and then shouting the line. After multiple takes, Nash is disgusted by the thought of eating another Bear Claw and the director, frustrated with this development in light of having no good take, asked the script writers if they could change the events so that the line is shouted before Pam eats the bear claw, which the writers say is okay. Amber is visibly not amused. | |

During the dubbing of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Kira's voice actor Matt Hill actually asked the vocal director to kick him in the crotch to make his crying sound authentic. Fans more than appreciate his dedication, especially since it worked (and was head and shoulders above Soichiro Hoshi's "dying horse" crying). Similarly, in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Scott McNeil's Big "NO!" was achieved when he thought back to the most painful moment in his life, when his wife accidentally knocked over his motorcycle with the family minivan. | |

In An Adventure in Space and Time, William Hartnell is thinking about his grief over the departing producer, Verity Lambert, while performing a scene in which his character leaves his granddaughter stranded on a post-apocalyptic Earth in the year 2150, and his acting is notably better than the usual Stylistic Suck it has been shown as. This is Rule of Drama - in real life, Verity Lambert stayed on the production for almost a year after the scene was made. | |

Even Hall and Nash weren't told who the third man was at the Bash at the Beach. The two struggle to not look confused as Hogan goes Hollywood. This is because WCW themselves were unsure who it would be up until the day of the event as Hogan was getting cold feet at the thought of turning Heel. Rumor has it that if Hogan had backed out, Sting would've ended up being the Third Man instead. That probably would've confused Hall and Nash even more all considering. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) English dub: Vic Mignogna was not informed of what lay on the other side of the Gate prior to dubbing the scene in which Edward Elric passes through it. The surprise in Edward's voice upon seeing zeppelins, therefore, is quite real. Vic wasn't given any more of the script than his own lines in chunks (which were recorded in chronological order) for the last three episodes. Now that's what you call enforced. In a (somewhat) more lighthearted example, according to the commentary on episode 19, they really threw (or pretended to throw) a teacup at Aaron Dismuke's face in order to get his reaction (as Edward throws a teacup and it hits Al in the show). Not sure how much they were kidding, but when asked, Aaron said it bothered him, but it was also "really inspirational, though." |

The opening-night production of Macbeth in Slings & Arrows includes an In-Universe version; Slings & Arrows is a story about a theater company, and director Geoffrey Tennant is not above manipulating his performers to get results. In order to get the performance he wants out of his recalcitrant Macbeth, Geoffrey changes all the blocking at the last minute, inserts a small tree at a strategic location, and gives secret instructions to Macbeth's opponents in fight scenes. | |

The Lion King (1994): To get the proper effect for when Simba is sliding down the back of an elephant's skeleton, the director tapped Jonathan Taylor Thomas's back while he recorded his lines. The staff brought in Thomas' mother during a session where he recorded for the wildebeest stampede. The director told Thomas to visualize her falling to perfect Simba's reaction to Mufasa losing his grip. This worked too well; Thomas screamed "MOM!" on the first take instead of the scripted "DAD!". |

Initially, Dean objects because Darth Maul's too evil to cry, but when Heart reminds Dean that school starts in 62 days, he bursts into tears, and she rolls the camera. | |

In The Idolmaster, Haruka and Miki were in the running to take the lead role in a musical. Miki was a shoo-in for the lead role due to her energy, but this came at a time where the 765 idols were drifting apart due to schedule conflicts and couldn't meet up all the time. Haruka's desperation to keep them all together in little moments, as well as her inner suspicions of being The Friend Nobody Likes and blaming herself for an accident that befell onto the Producer during the time, are what gives her the edge to do the lead's speech about broken dreams and self-doubt. | |

Malcolm in the Middle: Reese breaks a leg when he snuck out with the minibike Lois had under lock. They try to make it look like Craig ran over his leg with the car using a brick. When Reese's screams don't sound very believable, Dewey proceeds to punch him in the bump that is his broken bone. In an earlier episode where the boys (and Francis) have the house to themselves, Malcolm gets injured and has to be taken to the hospital, Francis driving in reverse so the odometer wouldn't move forward and arouse the parents' suspicion. When they have difficulty obtaining the treatment, Francis forces Dewey to cry by squeezing his back as the two hug, garnering sympathy from one of the nurses. |

Futurama: In "My Three Suns", Bender tries this in order to make Fry cry to free the emperor trapped inside of him. Bender loudly exclaims about seeing Leela being captured and killed by rioters. It works, but only just so. Then Leela breaks the illusion by showing up in the room, entirely unharmed. They eventually get Fry to cry by beating the crap out of him. Leela does it to Calculon in "Calculon 2.0" by chewing him out in a way that even Bender calls "the meanest thing I ever saw," all to bypass his Large Ham tendencies and secure an authentically tragic performance in an audition so he'll get his old job back. |

Code Geass: Yukana was never told her character (C.C.) was going to die in the first episode. In fact, nobody knew how long their character was going to last throughout the first season, so much of their death cries were real. The casting of the actors for the lead roles of Lelouch and Suzaku was a deliberate case of Playing Against Type with Jun Fukuyama, an actor known for playing more straightforward heroes like Touga Tenkuji and Takahiro Sakurai, known for playing Anti Heroes like Cloud Strife, respectively. Director/co-creator Goro Taniguchi has said that he did this so that both characters would sound strained due to the actors being used to the opposite type of roles in order to show that both characters were trying to be something they're not. He also had a hand in the English version casting Johnny Yong Bosch, best known for being a former Power Ranger and Ichigo Kurosaki and Yuri Lowenthal, best known for playing Sasuke Uchiha, for the same reasons. |

In The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II during the scene revealing that Osborne was alive and that Crow's attempt to assassinate him was in vain, Rean reaches for him, grabs him, and yells with so much emotion that he never shows off for most of the game. This is because Sean Chiplock, who voices Rean, had issues with his real life father at the time when he recorded the line. Which then gave the moment a very convincing Luke, I Am Your Father feel to it. | |

In Oshi no Ko, Kana stars in the adaptation of In-Universe manga "Sweet Today," but it's a mediocre work filled with amateur actors. After Aqua learns that Kana Took the Bad Film Seriously, he steps into his role for the climactic scene in the filming for its final episode, ad-libs his lines and position a little, and even subtly goads the amateur actor into a rage to get an authentic emotional outburst. The director picks up with this and rolls with it, and it makes for a finale that's way better than the rest of the Show Within a Show. | |

The earliest Peanuts specials were done this way — since Charles Schulz and Bill Melendez insisted on real child voice actors, some of whom couldn't yet read, dialogue was fed to the kids line-by-line or sometimes word-by-word, and the lines we hear are often spliced together from the kids reciting the words or lines back. One of the best examples is Sally's confused speech ("All I want is what I...have coming to me! All I want is my fair share!") in A Charlie Brown Christmas. This unique "sound" quickly became such an expected element of the specials that this method continued to be followed, even when mixing software and better techniques could have smoothed things over a bit. | |

Mark Metcalf was able to use the exposure he got from his Animal House rant to the ROTC cadets being included in the fadeout of Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" and his appearance in the video to get more pay for his subsequent appearance in the band's "I Wanna Rock" video. He showed up on set with a big ego, made even bigger by obvious cocaine consumption. This led to a confrontation with the director while shooting his scene at the beginning of the video, a confrontation the director settled by saying that if he really wanted to make his point, the two of them should step outside. Metcalf backed down, and the next take, with him still visibly agitated, is the one used in the video. | |

Producer Ross Robinson is notorious for this approach. The most infamous example is Korn's song "Daddy", where singer Jonathan Davis starts crying at the end.note They would go on to record two more albums with Robinson before Jonathan decided that he's had enough of the producer. Then there's "Pretty Lush" by Glassjaw, where you can hear him shattering the glass in the vocal booth. He also threw lit candles at The Cure and insulted them for not making music as good as they used to.note Which singer Robert Smith apparently took to heart, prompting him to push himself even harder | |

Sometimes the cast of Critical Role intentionally set this up when giving their character backstories to DM Matthew Mercer. In Campaign 1, Taliesin Jaffe only told Matt the parts of Percy's backstory Percy himself would know, and Percy's memories of the events are hazy, letting Matt drop genuine surprises on him later. In Campaign 2, both Taliesin and Ashley Johnson play amnesiac characters, and they simply told Matt "I'm missing this part of my memory" and let him fill it in, so that when the characters learned about their forgotten pasts their surprise was genuine. | |

Jordan Nagai, the kid who voiced Russell in Up, was "tricked" by the voice director many times in order to get him away from sounding too much like he was acting and give a more genuine response. For example, he was told to run around before giving lines or forced to memorize his lines on the spot. Likewise, in the scene where Russell, giggling, is being tossed playfully in the air by Kevin, the voice director tickled him. This is actually a pretty common practice (the same technique was used for the French actress who played the young Marjane in Persepolis). | |

WCW once had a whole PPV based on this, WCW Starrcade 91. This show introduced "The Lethal Lottery," a Dusty Rhodes creation. The idea was that the show would be made up of tag team matches where the participants (partners AND opponents) would be drawn at random, with the winners going on to compete in the two-ring "Battlebowl" battle royal at the end of the night. This resulted in some very odd combinations. In one match, Sting, the company's #1 Face, was paired up with legendary monster heel Abdullah the Butcher, and Sting had been feuding with Abby and Cactus Jack up to that point. The opening match had Jimmy Garvin of the Fabulous Freebirds and rookie Marcus Alexander Bagwell vs. Michael Hayes of the Fabulous Freebirds and Tracy Smothers. WCW would revisit the "Lethal Lottery" concept on three more PPVs, Starrcade 92, Battlebowl in November 1993, and Slamboree 1996, though they'd rig the drawings for those later shows. | |

In The Hunger Games, this happens repeatedly with Katniss. She can't act, and so is never warned about Peeta's interview strategies so her reactions will be genuine. By the third book, this has escalated to dropping her into a war zone in order to film propaganda because the studio shoots never work. At first they just stick to a hospital with real victims, but no one was expecting bombers to turn up. And when they do, they try to keep her out of the fighting, but she goes in anyway and they keep the camera rolling. | |

Martin Birch, who produced Iron Maiden's most famous records, asked (then new) singer Bruce Dickinson to do take after take after take for "The Number of the Beast". Bruce was obviously frustrated and annoyed, and that's when Mr Birch told him something like 'now it's time to record the scream', which he of course delivered in a very unhuman way, which Bruce was never able to replicate. | |

The Bolt Chronicles: invoked Occurs In-Universe in "The Pilot." James the Director realizes Bolt is a natural actor during filming and arranges it so the dog has to remain on-set during the show's run — that the pooch must never find out that he's acting in a TV show. Bolt is shown to be thoroughly confused by what has transpired. | |

A strange, accidental example in Red Dead Redemption 2; Dutch's voice actor, Benjamin Byron Davis, was a heavy smoker during the making of the first game, giving him a very gravelly voice. In the years following, he quit smoking, with the effect that his voice became noticeably higher and more prone to cracking... a fact which allowed him to very convincingly portray a younger Dutch in II, which is set a few decades prior to the first game. | |

Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Chris Hackney, the voice actor for Dimitri, didn't know about The Reveal near the end of the first part of the game until he recorded the lines for it. In his own words, "That was genuine rage." Christian La Monte, the voice actor for Ignatz, stated that the scream in his character's B support with Raphael was genuine. According to him, Raphael's "Hey!" was played at full volume while he was waiting for directions. Christian's startled scream in response was the one used for Ignatz. |

Inverted in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "School Hard", where Angel brings Xander with him and pretends to have captured food in order to get close to Spike. Xander, not liking or trusting Angel, is somewhere between believing it and not. Apparently, though, it was Angel's performance that was suspect, as Spike pulls away at the last moment to cheap shot Angel. Afterwards, Xander asks what would have happened if Spike had bitten Xander. | |

Jack's been around long enough to know something's up, but Woolsey believes he's going to die and predictably freaks out, fooling the enemy completely. | |

The Rock's return in 2011 was hidden even from the scripts of that episode which all told that Justin Bieber would be the host. (The Rock briefly alludes to this in his monologue.) Speaking of The Rock, his feud with John Cena was strained because the two men actually did not get along (at the time) but both knew the fans wanted to see them in a match. | |

The Avatar in Fire Emblem: Awakening hears about how Walhart will kill Basilio after he and Flavia attack the conquerer. Knowing that the Fire Emblem might be stolen by the Grimleal (namely Validar), they and Basilio devise a plan for Basilio to fake death to the Conqueror, and not actually tell Flavia, so her cries when catching up with Chrom are legit. Later on, the Avatar proves correct — the Fire Emblem is stolen, but the green gem was replaced with a fake and Basilio was not actually dead. Just as Validar (and Lucina) had thought, Grima tries to possess the Avatar... but the Avatar attacks Chrom anyways and weakens the attack so Chrom survives... but they do not tell Chrom or Lucina that they'll do that, so their Big "NO!" and reactions will genuinely fool Validar. Cue Basilio walking in talking about how they fooled them all. | |

For the recording sessions of Spec Ops: The Line, the actors playing Walker, Adams and Lugo recorded all their lines together in one room, in hopes that a realistic character dynamic would develop between them. They also recorded all their lines in chronological sequence in long, tiring sessions, such that by the end of the recording sessions they were tired, angry and eager to go home — just like the characters themselves. | |

In Disney's animated Alice in Wonderland, Kathryn Beaumont once admitted to an interview that her laughter during the scene where Alice is tickled by the flamingo wasn't believable.

In Bolt, the director of the Bolt TV show has ran the titular dog's life this way, making him believe he really is a superpowered dog. The words "method acting" are even mentioned by the exec who came to evaluate the show. This results in Bolt being unable to tell the difference between the show and his real life, with his accidental cross-country trip coming from a misguided attempt to resolve the events of an episode he filmed earlier. | |

Also draft-related - in order to properly keep up the air of shock (as well as downplay spoilers) in the 2005 draft's opening pick, John Cena apparently arrived at the arena very late and stayed in his car until it was time for him to come out at the start of the show. Only Cena and the people he had a segment and a match with that night - Chris Jericho, Christian, and Tyson Tomko - were informed of it in advance. | |

Speaking of Jim Ross, he intentionally did not read the set notes for the shows he was announcing in order to make his on-air calls more realistic. His pleas for trying to get someone to stop the famous Mankind vs. Undertaker Hell in a Cell match is one of the many legitimate results of this practice (moreso because some of the damage Mick Foley took in the match was unintentional and damn near killed him). | |

Sherlock Holmes: Holmes does this to Watson several times, each time with the explanation that he needed Watson to behave as though something was absolutely true when it wasn't. In the "Dying Detective" Holmes appears to be dying of poison. It turns out that he's perfectly fine and was only acting so that Watson's reactions to it (and subsequent conversation with the suspect who had tried to poison him) would be genuine enough to convince said suspect. A far crueler example is when Holmes fakes his own death for three years, leaving Watson alone even though his wife has died. Holmes states that it was essential the world believed him dead, and Watson's behavior wouldn't be convincing enough if it was an act. |

On Friends, Joey suffers a hernia while working out. Unfortunately, he's been without an acting role in a while and has no health insurance, so he tries to get an emergency role. He gets one as a dying father on a medical show who tells his son to take care of his mother. The pain from the hernia makes his "dying" moans very convincing. The child actor playing his son fails to elicit the right amount of emotion for the scene, so Chandler pulls back the blanket over Joey and shows the kid Joey's hernia. This upsets the boy enough for a thoroughly realistic performance. | |

In the original production of The Phantom of the Opera, at one point the Phantom is underground, having kidnapped Christine. He loads her into the boat. On stage, the boat needs to be pushed out to the front, as though he was pushing it into the water. Not knowing that the boat was so heavy, it took a lot out of the Phantom and he was severely out of breath. The rendering of the next song, "slowly, gently, in anticipation" is so affected that the director decides to keep it like that. | |

During the famous hardcore match between Triple H and Cactus Jack at the 2000 Royal Rumble, Triple H finally managed to hit Cactus Jack with the Pedigree, only for Cactus to unexpectedly kick out, absolutely shocking Triple H. The shock was real, because that was actually the scripted end of the match- Mick Foley had "called an audible" by changing the script on his own initiative, since he'd had a better idea for the finish, which they promptly did instead. Said "better idea" involved Triple H giving him another Pedigree face-first onto a pile of thumbtacks! | |
